  • Always good food, fast service, good margaritas and reasonable prices. Haven't raised prices as much as most other local option.

  • Best Mexican restaurant in Lafayette. We have tried them all since moving from North Carolina, and nothing has been even close to what we are used to. El Portillo is the closest thing in town! We will be back.

  • We came to eat here because of yelp as we'd just camped out in our motel. The place was very unassuming - we probably would have passed it by if we were looking without Yelp. However the place was awesome. Ambiance, Food, service and the waiter were first rate. Wife ordered Vegetarian Fajita and I got the Taco Salad with steak. Both orders came out super fast and were piping hot and delicious. We finished with Tres Leches cake that was sumptuous. Wife hit the jackpot with a Two for one Margarita night and I had a Dos Equis. Thanks again Yelp!
